Julianna Pena vs. Amanda Nunes Breakdown
Julianna Pena (11-4)
After winning the 18th season of The Ultimate Fighter, followed by a four-fight win streak, Pena ran into the buzzsaw that is current UFC Women’s Flyweight Champion, Valentina Shevchenko. Following her shortcoming against "Bullet," Pena would win her next outing against fellow The Ultimate Fighter winner, Nicco Montano, but she'd suffer another setback when being submitted by former UFC Women's Featherweight Champion Germaine de Randamie, but Pena would get back on track by submitting Sara McMann before her victory over Nunes.
If Pena wants to rewrite history at UFC 277, she may be keen to go right back to the well that got her the title at UFC 269, and that's with a mixed attack. While Nunes holds most of the statistical advantages over Pena, the "Venezuelan Vixen" still boasts an impressive 2.43 takedowns per 15-minutes.
Amanda Nunes (21-5)
The now former two-weight UFC Champion, Amanda Nunes, boasts perhaps the most impressive resume of any female fighter in MMA history after defeating the likes of Shayna Baszler, Sara McMann, Valentina Shevchenko, Miesha Tate, Ronda Rousey, Valentina Shevchenko (twice), Raquel Pennington, Cris Cyborg, Holly Holm, Germain de Randamie, Felicia Spencer, and most recently, Megan Anderson before her defeat against Pena.
If Nunes wants to get her title back, she may not want to overthink the loss against Pena and get back to her game as she holds nearly every statistical advantage over the "Venezuelan Vixen," most notably boasting a 4.55 to 3.36 significant strikes landed per minute advantage .
